Morgan was born on July 30, 1988, in Grenada. She was a 2006 graduate of Charleston High School and a 2010 graduate of the ADN Program at Holmes Community College. She was a member of Friendship East Baptist Church.
Morgan had worked as a registered nurse and used her loving, caring spirit to put her patients at ease. She was a loving mother and enjoyed attending her children’s activities and sporting events. A self-proclaimed music and movie enthusiast, she was the go-to if you needed to know the lyrics to a song or a line from a movie – she remembered them all. In her spare time, she enjoyed refinishing and repurposing furniture as well as tackling any kind of craft project.
